A Friday night gathering

Every Friday night my hosts Jose and Maria have friends over to dinner. The house is not large and by the time 8 people had arrived we were pretty crowded. But they kept on coming and by the time we were complete we were 14 people plus three children crowded in this space. It was a wonderful evening of friendship and laughter which went on for hours. This was truly an Argentinian dinner at its best and they accepted me as one of their own in spite of the language barrier. Indeed this was one occasion where the language became a source of amusement as we tried to teach each other our own language. I will take this night with me as a memory to be cherished.
